Racine Case ended Brookfield Central’s dreams of a third straight trip to Madison on Friday, by crushing the Lady Lancers, 54-32, at Central in a WIAA Division 1 sectional semi-final game.
Case will now play Muskego at 7 p.m. Saturday night at Central for the chance to go to next week's girls' state basketball tournament.
The Lady Lancers had their backs to the wall right from the beginning, as star point guard Erin Lueder, Central's top player, was out due to mononucleosis.
The Eagles jumped off to a 7-4 first-quarter advantage behind Samantha Logic's five points, while Jesse Thomas scored all four of Central's points.
Case then outscored Central, 12-6, in the second quarter to take a slim 19-10 halftime advantage. But the Eagles then pulled away to a 34-18 lead going into the fourth quarter and that was all she wrote for the Lady Lancers.
Thomas led Central with 12 points and Valerie Rose Agnello had nine points, but finished only 2 for 12 from the free-throw line.
Asia Berry and Logic led Case with 12 points each, and Jatoya Woods added 10.
Central finished the year with a 18-7 record.
